MAbSilico has deeptech scientists

deeptech scientists

A French deeptech company designing and implementing computational solutions for therapeutic antibodies and biodrugs discovery and development. MAbSilico provides a formal embedded technology for antibody discovery, reducing the risks of failure and the duration of discovery and preclinical steps, as well as strengthening intellectual property protection. Conventional approaches for drug discovery take up to three years, while MAbSilico technologies allow shrinking this time to a few weeks.
